Immortal God of War-Chapter 781 - 746: Controlling the City Lord, Five Star War Ancestor!_1
"This aura, so powerful!"
The City Lord’s face changed drastically, and he retreated without hesitation.
A corner of Qin Feiyang’s mouth lifted slightly. Utilizing the Phantom Step, he instantly appeared behind the City Lord.
Following closely, he raised his arm and struck the City Lord’s back with his palm.
SPLAT!
The City Lord immediately spat out blood, lost his footing, and shot forward.
WHOOSH!
Qin Feiyang once again used the Phantom Step, chasing after him like lightning, and stomped on the City Lord’s back.
AH!
With a scream, the City Lord flew into the glacier below like a falling meteor.
CRACK!
The glaciers within a few miles’ radius were immediately flattened and turned into ruins.
WHOOSH!
At the same time, Qin Feiyang also transformed into a beam of light and landed above the ruins.
The City Lord was lying weakly in a crater, covered in blood.
Qin Feiyang said indifferently, "Do you know why I attacked you?"
"Why?"
The City Lord struggled to get up, looking at Qin Feiyang with a puzzled expression.
"Because..."
Qin Feiyang took out a Restoration Pill, placed it in his mouth, and within the blink of an eye, restored his original appearance.
Upon seeing that mature and determined face, the City Lord’s eyes almost popped out.
"How is this possible?"
"It’s only been a few years, and your cultivation has..."
His face and eyes were filled with incredulity!
"There’s nothing impossible about me," Qin Feiyang said with a faint smile.
The City Lord’s eyes trembled, and he exclaimed, "In such a short time, you broke through from the War King stage to the Three Star War Ancestor stage! How did you do it?"
Qin Feiyang said, "Not Three Star War Ancestor, but Four-star War Ancestor."
"Four-star War Ancestor!"
Upon hearing this, the City Lord felt as if a thunderbolt had blasted through his mind, leaving it rumbling.
No wonder he was unable to put up any resistance. His cultivation level was so powerful.
"As for how I did it, that has nothing to do with you. Now you just need to answer a few of my questions," Qin Feiyang said.
"What questions?" the City Lord asked, his eyes filled with fear.
"Is the Tower Master currently in the Elixir Tower?" Qin Feiyang asked.
The City Lord’s pupils shrank, and he asked in surprise, "What are you planning by asking about the Tower Master’s whereabouts?"
Qin Feiyang’s eyes turned cold, and he said, "You’re not in a position to ask questions right now."
The City Lord shrank his neck and said, "The Tower Master is currently not in the Elixir Tower."
"Not there?" Qin Feiyang frowned, asking, "Then where is she?"
"I don’t know. She only shows up when it’s time to recruit disciples, and as soon as the disciples are sent out of the Elixir Tower, she leaves," the City Lord shook his head.
Qin Feiyang’s eyebrows knitted together.
Listening to the City Lord, it seemed like the Elixir Tower was more of a temporary office, and she’d leave once her business was done?
Qin Feiyang’s face turned gloomy, and he said, "Are you truly ignorant, or are you just pretending not to know?"
"I truly don’t know!" the City Lord cried out anxiously.
Qin Feiyang scrutinized the City Lord for a moment and, finding no signs of lying, said, "So there is no one in the Elixir Tower now?"
"Right. The people who went into the Elixir Tower with you that year have all been sent out," the City Lord nodded.
"A great opportunity!" Qin Feiyang’s eyes lit up.
As long as the Tower Master wasn’t in the Elixir Tower, the Heavenly Thunder Flame would be as good as his.
But if he took the Heavenly Thunder Flame, would he lose the clue about Mu Qing?
At this thought, Qin Feiyang looked at the City Lord and asked, "Do you know someone named Mu Qing?"
"Mu Qing?" The City Lord hesitated for a moment, thought back for a while, and said, "Was he the one who went into the Elixir Tower with you that year?"
"Right." Qin Feiyang nodded.
"I know him!" the City Lord said. "Although his alchemy talent is not as good as yours, he is also among the best."
Qin Feiyang said, "That’s not what I want to know. I want to know his background."
The City Lord shook his head. "I don’t know about that. You’ll have to ask the Tower Master."
Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow and said, "It seems keeping you around serves no purpose then."
Hearing this, the City Lord’s face changed instantly. He quickly said, "Don’t kill me! Whatever you ask me to do, I am willing."
"Really?" Qin Feiyang looked at him in amusement. "If I ask you to retrieve the Heavenly Thunder Flame for me, would you dare?"
"This..." The City Lord’s face tensed. The owner of the Heavenly Thunder Flame was the master of the Elixir Tower. After spending so much time with her, he knew her strength better than anyone else. It was no exaggeration to say that even now, as a Two-star War Ancestor, he couldn’t withstand a single attack from the Tower Master.
Therefore, even if he borrowed courage from Heaven, he wouldn’t dare to touch the Heavenly Thunder Flame!
What’s more, the Elixir Tower was currently closed. Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t enter at all! Because the stone door of the Elixir Tower could only be opened with the blood of the Tower Master.
"After all that, you still seem to have no value!" Qin Feiyang said, slowly raising his arm, Battle Intent gathering at his fingertips.
"Please... don’t kill me... I’ll be your beast of burden, alright?" The City Lord was terrified and quickly knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.
He had just broken through to the Two-star War Ancestor stage and hadn’t even had the chance to enjoy the thrill his improved strength brought. To die just like this... he couldn’t accept it!
Looking down at the man, Qin Feiyang’s eyes flickered. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he slowly lowered his raised arm.
Seeing this, the City Lord was overcome with joy. Is he not going to kill me?
"Not long ago, I mastered a powerful Divine Skill, and I’ll test it on you." Qin Feiyang suddenly grinned, forming a hand seal on his chest.
HUM!
In less than three breaths, a palm-sized pentagram appeared.
It was the Enslavement Mark!
With a wave of Qin Feiyang’s hand, the Enslavement Mark darted into the top of the City Lord’s head like lightning.
Instantly, the City Lord showed an expression of torture, clutching his head and wailing miserably. But soon, he stopped wailing.
At the same time, Qin Feiyang also clearly sensed that he had taken control of the City Lord’s Soul.
"What did you do to me?" The City Lord suddenly looked up at Qin Feiyang, his eyes full of alarm and suspicion.
"Enslavement Mark," Qin Feiyang spoke indifferently. A thought flickered in his mind, and the City Lord immediately began to wail again, his face contorted, looking horrifically hideous.
"Damn it! What... what is this? My mind, it hurts so much..." the City Lord roared hysterically, feeling as if his head was about to be torn apart.
But the intense pain disappeared in the blink of an eye. Although it was only the blink of an eye, the City Lord felt as if he had endured ten thousand years of suffering. His body was already drenched in sweat!
"The Enslavement Mark can control souls," Qin Feiyang said. "Now, no matter where you are, no matter how many years pass, with just a flicker of my thoughts, I can kill you on the spot. And, I can perceive your thoughts."
Hearing these words, the City Lord collapsed on the spot, his face as pale as a sheet.
"Remember, don’t betray me. After all, you are of no value to me; it doesn’t matter whether I keep you or not," Qin Feiyang said indifferently.
The City Lord trembled, quickly knelt on the ground, and said, "Thank you, Master, for sparing my life."
Qin Feiyang nodded. "Go back now, as if nothing happened."
"What about the Heavenly Thunder Flame?" the City Lord asked cautiously.
Qin Feiyang said, "I need to think about it more. If I really decide to snatch the Heavenly Thunder Flame, you must also put on a show of trying to stop me."
"Understood." The City Lord nodded.
Qin Feiyang then said, "Take out your Image Crystal Stone and establish a contract bridge, so it will be convenient to notify me if there is any news."
"Yes," the City Lord answered respectfully.
After he took out the Image Crystal Stone and established a contract bridge with Qin Feiyang, he respectfully said, "Then I will go back first."
"By the way, when you get back, investigate Mu Qing’s background for me," Qin Feiyang said.
"Alright." The City Lord nodded respectfully, then opened a portal and left quickly.
Qin Feiyang lowered his head, falling into thought.
If he lost the clue about Mu Qing just to snatch the Heavenly Thunder Flame, it wouldn’t be worth it. But the question is, will Mu Qing ever come back?
After careful consideration, Qin Feiyang finally decided to wait.
He would wait until the next Elixir Tower assessment and see how things developed.
SWOOSH!
He flickered once and entered the old castle, starting to work on the third stroke of the Killing Art.
Strength solves everything. His current strength is far from enough, whether in the Land of Oblivion or the Great Qin Empire. And according to his conjectures, the situation in the Land of Oblivion might be even more complicated than that of the Great Qin Empire.
「City Lord’s Mansion!」
As soon as the City Lord returned, the Commander asked, "Sir, where’s Qin Feiyang?"
The City Lord said, "He managed to escape."
"What? He managed to slip away from you?" The Commander was very shocked.
"Well, he didn’t really slip away from me. I got there, and he was already gone. I have no idea where he is hiding now," the City Lord explained.
"I see." The Commander suddenly realized and let out a sigh of relief.
If Qin Feiyang had truly slipped away from the City Lord, that would have been too shocking.
"Alright, I’m a little tired; I need to rest. Keep an eye on the outside, and report to me immediately if there is any news about Qin Feiyang. Also, investigate someone named Mu Qing. I want to know everything about him, the sooner the better," the City Lord ordered.
"Yes, sir!" The Commander agreed, turning around to leave.
"SIGH! Who on earth did I offend?" Filled with resentment, the City Lord quickly disappeared into the hall.
「Time passed swiftly.」
「Three months passed.」
BOOM!
On this day, Qin Feiyang’s arm trembled. The third stroke of the ’Killing’ character beneath his fingertip burst into a dazzling light. His aura also surged. In the blink of an eye, he broke free from the shackles and advanced to a Five Star War Ancestor!
But compared to the first and second strokes, this third stroke took longer—precisely three months and two days. The subsequent strokes would definitely take even longer.
However, he was very content.
After all, it took others at least several years, even decades, to break through a minor realm of War Ancestor.
"Five Star War Ancestor... One step closer to War Saint. Wait for me, I will be back soon!"
Muttering to himself, Qin Feiyang withdrew his arm, closed the Six-Character Mantra, and took out the Image Crystal Stone.
